Section 1. Introduction

The 7706-ULF Integrated Fire Monitoring System is a compact, simple panel designed to monitor all facets of a wet or dry fire sprinkler system and communicate the status to a monitoring station. The 7706-ULF System is a listed and approved microprocessor-based sprinkler monitoring panel and complies with UL-864, NFPA-70, and NFPA-72. The panel is provided with six inputs and with one 24 VDC, 0.5A Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) with strobe synchronization. The 2.0A power supply provides ample power to meet any jurisdictions requirements and will charge up to two 18 Ah batteries. Note: The cabinet will house up to two 14 Ah batteries. Larger size batteries must be placed in an NFPA 72 compliant external battery box. In addition, the panel has the Potter P-Link for connection to a remote annunciator.

Purpose of This Manual

This manual is intended to assist in installing and programming the 7706-ULF Integrated Fire Monitoring System. Refer to this manual to properly install and program the 7706-ULF System. It is recommended that the user follow the procedures as outlined in this manual to assist in the proper installation of, and prevent damage to, the control panel and associated equipment.

System Overview

The 7706-ULF Integrated Fire Monitoring System is designed for use as a sprinkler fire control panel for life safety applications. The system must be used with an AES-IntelliNet system, a two-way data radio network (see Figure 2), as alarm, supervisory, and trouble messages generated by the 7706-ULF system are transmitted to the AES- IntelliNet system's central receiver.

The main components of the 7706-ULF System include a mainboard, an interface card, and a subscriber unit (see Figure 1). The 7706-ULF System is a single enclosure located at the protected premise. Data messages from the control panel (mainboard) are transferred through the AES 7764 Potter Interface Card (PIC) to the subscriber.

Figure 1. 7706-ULF System Components

The subscriber transfers the data messages to the AES RF mesh network as shown in Figure 2. The mesh network consists of a group of subscribers that provide a path for transmitting messages from the 7706-ULF System to the 7705i MultiNet central receiver. Subscribers in the mesh network automatically establish a path to the central receiver. The configuration is dynamic, so a path will be re-established if a subscriber in the route fails to function. Messages are passed between subscribers in a repeater fashion, allowing subscribers out of direct radio range to communicate with the central receiver.



Messages in the RF mesh network are passed between subscribers until received at the AES 7170 IP-Link. The 7170 IP-Link functions as a gateway between the AES RF mesh network and a TCP/IP network connection to the central receiver through direct Ethernet connection, LAN, WAN, or Internet.

Messages terminate at the 7705i AES-MultiNet receiver. The receiver is capable of either sending the messages to automation software, displaying them on the receiver front panel LCD display, or printing them to the attached printer.

Mainboard Wiring Specifications

There are several wiring requirements to consider before connecting circuits to the mainboard: (1) the circuit separation and (2) wiring types.

All wiring should be sized and installed to comply with NFPA-70, NFPA-72, and local codes and ordinances.

Circuit Separation

Proper separation between the different types of circuits must be maintained between Power Limited, Non-Power Limited, and High Voltage wiring to reduce electrical interferences, transient voltage, or voltage ratings.

Separations between the different wiring types must be maintained by at least ¼ inch and the wire insulation must be for the higher voltage.

The control panel cabinet has sufficient knockouts located around the periphery allowing the installer to maintain separation between power limited and non-power limited connections.

Wiring Types

Wiring specifications must be followed to prevent damage or other consequences. Please refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 6 on page 19 for proper wiring requirements.

Section 3. Subscriber Antenna Planning and Installation

Important! A UL fire compliant fire alarm installation for the 7706-ULF System needs to be in a location that has a NetCon of 5. Refer to 60"Table 13: PIC Menu Screen Displays" on page 60 for additional details. It is important to verify that a location is suitable before deciding on the antenna used and mounting the cabinet. A check of the location can be done with the AES Network Connectivity Tool (NCT). The AES NCT provides a quick means for verifying NetCon or finding suitable locations for installation.

A tamper resistant “rubber duck” flexible antenna is part of the standard package for the 7706-ULF System and mounts on top of the steel cabinet. Depending on cabinet mounting, physical location, and mesh network connectivity, a remotely mounted antenna may be required.

Antenna Safety Considerations

Following is a list of important considerations as well as information on antenna and coaxial cable accessories available from AES.

y If the antenna or cables connected to this equipment come in contact with electrical power lines, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY may result.

y It is unlawful to operate this equipment in the United States without a valid FCC radio station license. Other countries most likely require licensing through appropriate authorities as well.



y All equipment must be installed in accordance with National Electric Code, NFPA -70, National Fire Code NFPA-72 and local building codes.

y Be certain to properly ground the antenna, enclosure and any surge protection devices to help dissipate surges away from the equipment and personnel. The grounding of the antenna and surge protector is for your safety and the safety of your equipment and should not be neglected.

UHF antenna options are listed in Table 8. The frequency range is 450–480 MHz. Contact factory at (800) 237-6387 or [email protected] for other frequencies.

2. Included standard tamper-resistant antenna mounts on alarm unit’s enclosure (includes cable).

3. Mounts in attics, vents, walls, behind drapes, etc. (includes 10-foot cable).

4. Requires coaxial cable. Usually requires user-supplied mounting hardware such as a pole with mounting brackets/hardware.

5. Antenna is intended for outdoor use. Supplied mount is intended for indoor use, as coaxial connection is exposed. To use outdoors, connection must be sealed with a suitable product such as a self-fusing tape to protect against moisture.

The antenna must be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code and local electric code. A surge protector must be installed in line with any type of remotely installed antenna. Refer to Figure 9 on page 24 for installation details.

y 100-foot RG-8 W/1 N male (on spool), Part No. 13-0345-100 (this coaxial cable is available for longer runs, cut to length and installer terminated)

y Loose connectors required to complete RG-8 assembly, Part No. 12-0101 y Crimp tool required for 12-0101, Part No. 7244 y Cable assembly; 18” RG-58 (N female, bulkhead ↔ BNC male) (used to connect RG-8 with N male to enclosure body), Part No. 13-0346

Coaxial Cable and Antenna Installation Tips y Avoid using 25-foot coaxial cable length if a 10-foot length will be sufficient. y Never use more than 25 feet of RG-58 cable in any antenna installation. y Always use shortest length of coaxial cable possible. Longer than necessary coaxial cable lengths translate into greater signal loss.

y Always use the straightest most direct routing possible in any coaxial cable installation. Unnecessary and tight bends add to potential signal loss.

y Use 50-ohm impedance coaxial cable only. Do not use 75-ohm coaxial cable for the connection of remote antenna. RG-8, 9913, LMR-400, LMR-600, and RG-58 are among a list of acceptable 50-ohm coaxial cables.

y RG-59 and RG-6 are 75-ohm coaxial cables and are NOT to be used. y Use the proper coaxial connectors and crimp tool for the coaxial selected. Incorrect or poorly installed connectors can have a significant effect on the performance of the RF.

Transceiver Antenna y The supplied case top tamper resistant flexible 2.5 dB antenna is mounted on the enclosure as shown in Figure 9 on page 24.

y A separately purchased remote antenna may be used with the 7706-UL unit in UL installations. Contact AES at (800) 237-6387 or [email protected] for a selection of antennas suitable for use with your subscriber unit. Refer to 22"Table 8: UHF Antenna Options" on page 22 for information on antennas available from AES.

y Mount antenna as high as possible, on or in the structure, with attics and rooftop locations preferred. Height need not be higher than is required to overcome nearby obstructions to the signal path if any additional height would use a longer coaxial cable length.

y A remote antenna should be mounted in a location near the transceiver to minimize inherent signal loss due to unnecessary cable length. Do not use longer coaxial cable than is needed to reach the antenna.

y Avoid installing the antenna in close proximity to other metal surfaces which may severely impact the performance of the radio communications due to the effects of signal reflections or detuning the antenna.

– Remember that pipes, conduit, wiring, ductwork, and other metal are commonly installed within walls and could affect antenna performance.

– Take into account foil-backed insulation and wallpaper.

– Metal objects may also be located in adjacent rooms or above ceilings.

– Metallic framing is in common use today. Antenna should not be mounted directly over, or in close proximity to, metal studding.

– Metallic supports are in common use today. Antenna should not be mounted in ceilings constructed of metal beams and supports that may interfere with the RF signal.



– The antenna must be grounded properly to help reduce damage due to surges produced by lightning. Grounding must be done in accordance with local building codes as well as those in accordance with any other authority having jurisdiction.

– When needed, use higher gain antenna with rated cable and connectors. Mount antenna as high as possible. Attics that meet the temperature and humidity range specification can help to improve performance.

See the UHF antenna options in 22"Table 8: UHF Antenna Options" on page 22 for available and approved options.

y Antenna must be mounted in a vertical orientation. y Avoid tightly coiled or bunched coaxial cable, as this could also affect RF performance. Use coaxial cable length that best fits the installation.

y The antenna must be installed in accordance with National Electric Code and local electric code. y A protective surge suppressor must be installed in line with any type of remotely installed antenna.

Section 4. Cabinet Mounting – Subscriber and Mainboard Mounting and Wiring Instructions

To mount the cabinet:

Important! The 7706-ULF System needs to be in a location that allows the subscriber to connect to the AES mesh network. It is important to verify that a location is suitable before deciding where the cabinet is mounted. A check of the location can be done with the AES Network Connectivity Tool (NCT). The AES NCT provides a quick means for verifying or finding suitable locations for installation.

1. Select a convenient location, approximately 5 feet from the floor, where it will be accessible for testing and servicing.

Note: The system is supplied from the factory with the subscriber components mounted to the subscriber mounting and installed in the cabinet. The subscriber mounting plate must be removed before installing the cabinet.

2. Remove the panel motherboard from the cabinet by removing two screws mounting the black dead-front bezel, removing the bezel, and then removing the two screws mounting the panel motherboard.

3. Remove the two screws holding the mounting plate to the cabinet. See Figure 10 for screw location labeled mounting plate standoff. Lift the mounting plate upwards, approximately 1/2", in order to clear the cross-beam of the cabinet on which the mounting plate rests. Remove the mounting plate and set aside.

4. The cabinet may be surface mounted or semi-flush mounted using the optional trim bezel (refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8).

Note: For semi-flush mounting the supplied “rubber duck” antenna cannot be used and a remote antenna will be required.

For semi-flush installations, mount the housing so that the front edge protrudes 1" from the finished wall surface. After all conduits and wiring are in place and the wall surface is completely finished, insert the supplied plug in the case antenna mounting hole, slide the trim bezel in place and fasten with 4 #6-32 × 1/4" machine screws and nuts.

5. Install all required conduits, external wiring, and points and make all connections that are external to the panel.

6. Install the subscriber mounting plate first in the cabinet. Tilt the subscriber mounting plate so it slides in between the cross-beam and the two mounting tabs for the main circuit board panel. Use the nylon spacers and screws as shown in Figure 11 below to secure the subscriber mounting plate to the cabinet:

Battery Circuit Calculations

Before selecting the battery, it is important to determine the minimum size batteries for standby and alarm times desired for each application. If the wrong batteries are installed in a specific application or incorrect current draw is used, the proper standby and minimum alarm time will not be present.

The battery circuit is rated for 8 to 18 Ah batteries and will operate the panel alarm for at least 24 hours and 5 minutes. The cabinet will house up to two 14 Ah batteries. Larger size batteries must be placed in an NFPA 72 compliant external battery box.

Please use the worksheet shown below to calculate the battery size and current draw required for each application:

Figure 23. Auxiliary Connections Example



DACT Connection

NOTICEPhone lines are high voltage and should be run in a separate conduit from other circuits. The wire conductors connecting the DACT to the phone system should be 26 AWG or larger.

The Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) provides connections for two phone lines for communication to a monitoring station. The DACT communicates using the SIA-DCS or Ademco Contact ID protocols. The DACT is selectable and fully programmable.

The PFC-6006 automatically monitors each phone line for voltage and has the ability to seize the line and connect with a remote receiver. Once the communication is complete, the DACT will hang up the phone line.

The DACT is provided with a terminal block for each phone line, as shown in the figure below. In order for the DACT to work properly, it must be installed on a plain old telephone service (POTS) or equivalent as deemed by the authority having jurisdiction. The DACT must be installed before any other equipment to ensure it can seize the line and disconnect any other lines.



When the phone lines are connected to the control panel, the phone lines are supervised. The phone lines are non-power limited and should be routed accordingly.

In order for the system to comply with building and fire codes, the DACT is to be connected between the telephone company connection and other appliances serving the building. Failure of the DACT to be the first device on the line will prevent it from seizing the phone line and acquiring dial tone.



Section 6. Control Panel Operation

This section provides an overview of the control panel basic operations, which includes the status LEDs, function keys, and a quick reference sheet for the Control Panel Menu tree. The control panel is used for configuration of the 7788F subscriber and the alarm control panel.

The value displayed in the table will be incremented by 1 if the signal quality is not “good” or if faults are reported by the ID. Link layer is the number of hops a data packet would need using the ID as first in the route, assuming all IDs in the route successfully used their Preference 1 IDs as well.

y NetCon – An internal rating used in the automatic positioning of this unit in the network. The possible values are 5, 6, or 7. A value of 5 indicates there are two or more paths available. A value of 6 indicates there is one path available. A value of 7 may indicate a problem with this unit or a unit in its path to the IP Link.

y Signal Quality – The first digit is either an 8 or a 0. 0 means that Carrier Detect (CD) was on during signal reception, while 8 means it was off. CD is related to signal strength where it is on when the strength of the signal is above a certain threshold. The second character is related to readability of the data. A value of 3 is the best, as it indicates that all three of the data repeats were properly read, and a value of 1 is the lowest, as it means that only one of the three was read. Therefore, a good signal would read 03, and a marginal would be 82 or 81.

Self-Test Error Codes—Status Error Codes

A subscriber status error code is displayed in the LCD on the PIC Status screen when the subscriber unit fails the diagnostic self-test. Self-test is performed as part of the power-on sequence of the subscriber.

When an error code appears, press the Reset button located on the subscriber board to see if the problem clears (refer to Figure 30 on page 63) for the Reset button location. If the error code does not clear, use the procedure below based on the error code that is displayed.

Table 15: Status Error Codes

Status Error Code Error Code Description Procedure

001 Battery power is low Check the battery. Press the subscriber RESET button.

002 RAM Checksum Failure Press the RESET button. See note below.

003 Problems 01 and 02 above

004, 006 EEPROM Failure Press the RESET button. See note below.

Table 15: Status Error Codes

Status Error Code Error Code Description Procedure

080 Loopback Test Failure Press the RESET button. Unit will likely pass self-test when this is done. See note below.

100 AC Not Present Check AC power input and transformer.

200 Battery Charge Fail Unit may need servicing.

300 Combination of error code problems 100 and 200

Unit powered up by battery alone. If true, you may continue.

400 Ground Fault Ground Fault condition exists on a G terminal of the Zone input section.

Other error code displayed.

Error code is result of multiple error code numbers added together.

Error code of 084 indicates a loopback failure and EEPROM fail (080+004). AC fail and low battery would report error code 101. This example and other messages may indicate that the unit requires AES authorized servicing. See note below.

Note: If unit passes, it must now be reprogrammed (see "Subscriber Programming"). If unit repeatedly fails the self-test with a message unrelated to AC fail or low battery, service may be required.

If you are utilizing the assistance of AES Support, please report the error code to the AES service staff.

As a general rule, if the self-test fail is not related to low battery, AC, battery charger, or ground fault, then verify that any ICs installed in sockets are properly seated. If the fault is still present, the subscriber will need to be returned to AES for service.

Status Indicators and Subscriber Reset Button

Four LED indicators are located on the circuit board of the 7788F. The LEDs are located near the top edge of the circuit board next to the J1/Programmer connector and the Reset button.

System E-mail Functions

The PFC-6006 comes with built-in e-mail capabilities. The panel automatically sends status e-mails, including Alarms, Troubles, Supervisory, and Test events, to the e-mail addresses designated on the E-mail Reporting window as shown below.

Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory and Test Events are sent immediately as theyoccur!

If selected, Event History Reports will be sent based on the weekly schedule, timeand day of the month indicated here.

Figure 53. E-mail Reporting Window

Event History reports may be scheduled to be sent on specific days of the week, time, or day of the month. Up to 20 e-mail addresses may be programmed on this screen. After the E-mail Reporting section is completed and downloaded into the panel, the panel will start sending e-mails according to programming.

The panel is capable of sending automatic and on-demand reports because it has a designated outgoing e-mail address comprised of its model and serial numbers. On-demand reports can be requested directly from the panel's Data Transfer function or remotely from a PC, if the user has a valid e-mail address programmed on the E-mail Reporting window.

The panel address is structured as [email protected], where PFC6XXXXXXXXXXX refers to the panel serial number. The serial number is the same as the NetBIOS name, and is located on the panel as shown below.

Note: Outgoing panel e-mails are routed through a dedicated Potter server. You must make a notation of your panel's outgoing e-mail address in order to send e-mail requests remotely.

System Programming

System programming involves defining the function of points and their relationships to each other, referred to as "mapping." You can define behavior characteristics of individual or groups of points, map points into zones, and further customize your system using the panel configuration software from a computer.

The panel configuration software features include:

y Easy-to-use Windows-based editing techniques, including drag and drop between windows. y Flexibility in configuring points into multiple zones, promoting sophisticated mapping relationships. y Simple sorting and grouping by select fields enhances viewing and analysis of data. y Options to view points by type, address, and function or description.

Mapping Zones Overview

Mapping is creating relationships between points, modules, and sensors and their behavior between each other. Whereas, the “zone” is the framework in which you group the points. These terms and other related mapping concepts are provided in this section.



Single Zones

The LEARN feature creates or maps a basic, one-to-one relationship where all points are automatically grouped into one zone. When all points are in the same zone, and an input device is activated, all output points will activate. An example of a one-to-one device relationship is shown in Figure 64:

Zone 1

1 23

45

Symbol Legend:

= Input Point

= NAC

= Panel Hardware

Figure 64. Mapping all Points to One Zone

Multiple Zones

The panel configuration software allows you to customize the operational mode behavior of points by grouping them into a maximum of 30 different zones. All input points, including the one on-board NAC circuit (NAC 1), may be configured to behave in a specific manner. This flexibility enables you to configure system points to maximize protection throughout your site.

By organizing points into different zones, you can create unique relationships between points for specific outputs or events. The panel configuration software allows you to efficiently group points to follow a sequence of events producing the same combination of outputs into different zones. This section addresses how to accomplish these tasks.



Mapping Terminology

The table below provides mapping terms that may be helpful to you in understanding the mapping concept:

Table 24: Mapping Terminology

Term Definition

Mapping Creating relationships between points, modules, and sensors and defining their behavior.

Zone

A group of points.• Zones may represent a group of points located in a specific physical area at the site.

Example: Zone 1 comprised of all alarm devices for a sprinkler system [i.e., pull station #1, one water flow device, and one strobe-NAC].

• Zones may represent a set of points configured for a specific function; their location may be scattered throughout the site. This group is a logical grouping or zone.

Example: Zone 2 comprised of all points in Zone 1 as described above, plus a second pull station located at the end of a hallway and two additional smoke detectors.

Notes: y If all input/output points are grouped into one zone, when any input is activated, all outputs activate.

y A device or point may be mapped into more than one zone.

Point Any specific initiating device circuit (IDC) or appliance connected to the panel.

Latching Device will not automatically reset; device must be reset at the keypad to remove condition.

Non-Latching Device will automatically reset when trouble and supervisory condition is no longer present.

Zone Types / Styles

You may define or configure each zone to serve a specific purpose or to create specific output results. For procedures on how to select Zone styles, refer to the “Configuring Zones” section of this manual. The following zone styles are available:

Table 25: Zone Styles

Zone Description

Alarm Default zone type; sets system into an Alarm condition when any input is activated.

Supervisory Used for all Supervisory inputs.

Auxiliary Used for all “Aux” inputs.

Fire Drill Comprised of input / output points that will activate when running a Fire Drill.

System Alarm Used for outputs that will be activated upon any alarm.

System Supervisory Used for outputs that will be activated upon any supervisory.

System Trouble Used for outputs that will be activated upon any trouble.



Zone Attributes

Zone attributes are the settings that control the overall behavior of points within the zone. The zone may be configured as latching or non-latching, silenceable or non-silenceable, among other attributes.

Tip: Double-click in a field to modify an applicable field, i.e., zone name or alarm count. Click in fields with a selection box to select or deselect the option, i.e., silenceable or latching.

All zones default to an “Alarm” style or type when first created. The figure shown below is an example of the default attributes of an "Alarm" zone.

Appendix B. System Maintenance and Testing

Acceptance Test

The control panel is required to be installed in accordance with local and state building codes and NFPA-72 (National Fire Alarm Code). At the conclusion of each original installation or modification of this system, the control panel and related system is required to be inspected and tested in accordance with NFPA-72 to verify compliance with the applicable standards.

Testing should be conducted by trained fire alarm technician(s) from Potter factory in the presence of a representative of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and the building owners representative. Refer to NFPA-72 (National Fire Alarm Code), Inspection Testing and Maintenance code.

Periodic Testing and Service

Periodic testing and maintenance of the control panel, all initiating points, all notification appliances, and any other associated equipment is essential for ensuring that the system will operate as designed in emergency situations. Service and test the control panel according to the schedules and procedures outlined in the following documents:

y NFPA-72, Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance. y All test and maintenance should be performed in accordance with any requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.

y Service manuals and instructions for any and all peripheral points installed in the system. It is very important that any and all trouble conditions (or faults) be corrected immediately.

Operational Checks

During interim periods between formal testing and at regular intervals, the control system should be subjected to the following operational performance checks. The Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) should be consulted for requirements on frequency of system testing.

y Check that the green AC power LED is lit. y Check that all amber LEDs are off. y Using the system menus, perform a Lamp Test function. Verify that all LEDs and LCD segments operate. y Before proceeding, (1) notify the fire department and the central alarm receiving station if transmitting alarm status conditions, (2) notify facility personnel of the test so that alarm-indicating points are disregarded during the test period, and (3) when necessary, bypass activation of alarm notification appliances and speakers (if installed) to prevent sounding of evacuation signals.

y Activate an input device (i.e., manual station, heat, or smoke detector), and check that all notification appliances function.

y Notify Fire Department, central alarm receiving station, and /or building personnel when finished with testing the system.

y The test of ground fault must be measured below a 10-kohm impedance.



AC Fuse

The control panel has one fuse on the board for the AC power over current protection. The AC fuse is rated at 1.6A to 250 VAC time lag and screened onto the mainboard as F2.

Battery Fuse

The battery fuse is rated at 2.5A to 250 VAC time lag and screened onto the mainboard as F1.

Battery Maintenance

The system has been designed to use maintenance-free sealed lead acid batteries. These sealed lead acid batteries do not require any additional water or electrolytes. The system will keep all batteries fully charged by the system's power supply modules float charger. A typical discharged battery will recharge at 0.5A and reaches the voltage of 27.3 VDC within 48 hours. The battery is to remain in the cabinet with nothing on or around the batteries.

Replacement and Testing Recommendations

The batteries are to be replaced at least once every four years, or more frequently if specified by local AHJ and manufacturer recommendations. Batteries should be dated at the installation. Minimal replacement battery capacity displays on the control panel marking label. The batteries are required to be UL-recognized batteries with a date of manufacture permanently marked on the battery. The battery is to be tested at least annually and if the battery is showing signs of failure, it should be replaced. Immediately replace a damaged or leaking battery, and always replace batteries in pairs.

Proper Handling/First Aid Procedures

y In the event a battery leaks and contact is made with the sulfuric acid, immediately wash skin with water for at least 15 minutes. Water and household baking soda provide a good neutralizing solution for sulfuric acid.

y If sulfuric acid makes contact with eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. y Ensure proper handling of the battery to prevent short circuits. y Take care to avoid accidental shorting of the leads from uninsulated work surfaces, tools, jewelry, and coins. y If a battery is shorted, the battery and any connected equipment may be damaged. Additionally, a short may injure personnel.

Appendix G. Verifying 7764 PIC Operation and Troubleshooting Steps

Verifying 7764 PIC Operation and Troubleshooting Steps

The 7764 PIC is operating normally when:

y No error message is on the LCD after the power-up self-test of the panel. y The green Status heartbeat LED is blinking on and off. There is a short flash followed by approximately 2 seconds off before repeating.

y The green 12V Out LED is on continuously.

A third diagnostic LED located on the board is for factory use only.

See figure below for LED locations.

Diagnostic LED - Factory Use OnlyStatus Heartbeat LED

12V Out LED

Troubleshooting

If the following error message appears on the two-line LCD display

Trb-AES COM [1] alternating with AES PIC 1 ,use the steps that follow to isolate the problem.

To Isolate the Problem

1. Check the wiring between mainboard AUX ( - ) and ( + ) terminals and 7764 VAUX terminals (refer to "Table 9: Interconnections" for correct AUX wiring). Verify that there is DC voltage at the 7764 VAUX terminals.

2. Verify that the 7764 12V Out LED is on. If the LED is not on and the VAUX terminals have DC voltage, then the 7764 requires service. Contact AES Technical Support for instructions.

3. Check wiring between PLINK on the 7764 and the mainboard (refer to "Table 9: Interconnections") for the correct PLINK wiring instructions). If the wiring is correct, perform a power reset by disconnecting the battery, removing and then reapplying AC power to the 7706-ULF. If the trouble error message still appears, the 7764 requires service. Contact AES Technical Support for instructions.

Operating Instructions

Normal Standby The green AC POWER LED will be illuminated, and the user-defined message on the LCD will be displayed. If the AC power is removed for more than 5 seconds, the green AC power LED will extinguish.

Acknowledging Off normal events are acknowledged by pressing the ACK key after scrolling down to new event. After all events have been acknowledged, the buzzer will deactivate and the associated LED will stop flashing and remain on continuously.

Alarm Condition The red ALARM LED will be flashing until it is acknowledged and will then display steady red anytime an alarm is occurring in the system. The LCD will display the number of inputs in alarm, and the buzzer will be activated. The buzzer will remain active until all alarms are acknowledged, or until the Silence key is pressed.

Silencing Alarm When the system is in Alarm, the notification circuits (strobes and horns) can be shut off by pushing the SILENCE key. The Silence LED will change status from flashing to steady. A programmable Automatic Silence will also shut off notification circuits. The Silence LED will remain flashing until the event is acknowledged.

Resetting Alarm After the condition that caused the alarm has been identified and corrected, the system may be reset to the Normal Standby by pressing the RESET key.

Supervisory Condition

When a supervisory condition is detected, the amber SUPERVISOR LED will illuminate and the buzzer will sound. The LCD display will indicate the number of supervisory events that are active. The local buzzer will sound until all supervisory events have been acknowledged.

Restoring Supervisory Condition

If the Supervisory condition is non-latching, once the device is restored to the normal condition, the supervisory event will clear. If the supervisory condition is latching, the device that was activated must be restored and the RESET key pressed.

Trouble Condition

When a fault condition occurs, the amber TROUBLE LED will illuminate and the local buzzer will sound until the fault is removed or the ACK key is pressed acknowledging the trouble condition. If the buzzer is acknowledged and the fault is not removed within 24 hours, the buzzer will resound.

Silencing Trouble(s)

When a trouble is occurring, the local buzzer will sound until either all troubles have been acknowledged or the SILENCE key is pressed.

Ground Fault When a conductor contacts an earth ground, the amber EARTH FAULT LED will illuminate and the LCD display will provide further information of where the fault is located.

Testing and Maintenance

Test this system monthly or more frequently as required by the AHJ. Before conducting any testing, contact the building personnel and the monitoring facility as applicable. When testing a system configured for releasing, activate the releasing disconnect switch to prevent accidental discharge of a suppression system. Test the circuits as outlined in the Installation Manual. Test in accordance with NFPA-72 and any local requirements. The batteries should be marked with the date of installation and replaced every four years or sooner if battery trouble occurs. Batteries should be checked with a tester acceptable to the AHJ such as a Stone Technologies model STC612A or equivalent. In case of a fuse replacement, refer to the Installation Manual for the proper rating. Contact the agency below for service or operational questions.
